im no longer doing the original style lid... as its too time consuming and tricky to fold. can be done, but the time it takes is way too long compared to the new design...

for that reason ive increased the price, i have to buy more bits and pieces to put them together, otherwise i wouldve increased the price to compensate for the labour required. it was also way easier to completly stuff the lid the old way.

im going to do other cars aswell.... but im flat out working and making boxes for gtst's after work,only so many hours in a day.

ill post up some pics of the new box shortly, it looks nothing like the photoshop job.

cheers

These look fantastic. Just a warning though - if a cop wants to defect you, he CAN and WILL. I have a UAS carbon box around my pod (not nearly as classy looking as this one!), and the cop that defected me a couple of weeks ago physically pryed the top up so he could see the pod underneath. I don't konw about other states, but especially in Sydney's South (where I got defected) there's a huge blitz on performance cars.

I spoke to the RTA, and the bloke on the end of the phone said "As long as it's in a box, it's fine!" - As people have said in the past (I hate bringing this up again), the law is open to interpretation.

Anyway - just be careful, and always, ALWAYS argue until you win :D

Back ON topic - if you have a pod, or are thinking of putting one on, buy one of THESE - they look very trick! Well done

Tragic, the new price is $130 or $140 delivered.

Akeevil... quite true in what you are saying... good thing about 2mm aluminium is its not easy to bend by hand, even to pry up. :)

i have been asked by a few people if i could put perspex in the lid, this will not be done as its easier to be defected, the point of the box is to conceal the pod to make it harder to be defected... even though the pod is boxed and "legal", if the cop can still see that you have a pod, he'll get you for a noise test or some other bullshit.

Hi Mate,

Looks real neat and very professional, nice stuff.

Ive got a Series 1 1997 Stagea wagon (RB25det) with aftermarket K&N pod airfilter. Will soon be adding a Hybrid front mount intercooler.

How much for one of these enclosed pod airboxes, with postage to adelaide, and do you know if it'll fit a Stagea?

Regards, Brendan

    • If they are a standard parts that have been replaced with a new, or better part, they mainly go in the recycling bin at home if there's room, or into the metal or big rubbish bin at work Saying this, I have gifted or sold some random stuff over the years, but, if they don't sell, or aren't given away within a month or so, they hit the bin I use to keep everything, to give away when I sold a car or bike, but typically people didn't want the parts, and the garage, shed, and other storage areas would fill up with parts, that got old and keeping stuff for the sake of keeping stuff was not the best use of space I do still have a big box full of all sorts of nuts, bolts, washers and brackets though, which come in handy... "every few years" and typically only for other peoples projects 
    • @Duncan for the antennas for the 4G booster, send me a photo of the connection type it uses, and what sort of bands it picks up on, and a photo of the existing antenna itself. I have some interesting ones coming into work soon that may suit your needs really really well AND stop you drilling holes in the roof.
    • I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels. 
    • Did a little bit on the V37 today. I bought this LED kit out of the US https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125953603618. Best I could find online but didn't look great, in the end the quality was pretty much right and it did come with locations for each light including rear number plate and a few spares. The factory owners' manual was also useful with information on where to pop each light out without damage. I prefer the LED look as I use it daily including at night and the LEDs are both brighter and the white light is easier to read with. Vanity mirror comparison, LEDs just look more modern The glove box was the only difficult one (and the only one that was previously blown.....), steps were Open glovebox 50% but not fully open Push up on bottom of the box to unclip it on both side, not screws or pins to remove Remove the top stays at an angle, right side then left, because.... Before dropping the glovebox totally, remove soft close clip on left Then, remove 7 screws to release the glovebox surround Twist the globe holder anti clock to release it from the surround In this case, the LED globe supplied was wider than factory and did not fit, so I ground down each side about 1mm then inserted it Last trick, start engine to check the LED polarity is correct, the globe only operates when the engine is running (whether the box is open or closed) I also moved the 4G booster and wifi across from the Fuga, a little frustrating as I could not find a good Accessories ACC source anywhere in the boot so I'll run a wire from the cabin next time I get a chance. Also, unlike the Fuga the external antenna wire does not quite fit between the rear windscreen and the body so I think I'll have to drill a hole in the roof to mount it. Probably not that interesting for most people so I'll just post once complete
    • Pretty sure I could do but it would need to be exported and reimported as the current import approval is race only. But in practice there are plenty of other practical reasons it can't be a road car despite their potential value these days like stripped interior looms, cage to cut out etc Nah, no mods to it other than updating the roll age to current regs. It makes about 350 (laggy) kilowatts on the N1s at 18psi which is enough to push it around the place
